Widex BEYOND for Android

App disconnects from hearing aids frequently. It is apparent that the manufacturer isn’t going to improve the software. Instead they want to sell you new hearing aids for $4000

Using this app with the Bluetooth on my Android has always been a bad experience. Each time I upgrade a phone, I hope for an improvement. Never happens. Now with the new Android update, the problems have increased. I never thought that possible. Each time I want to use the hearing aids with the Bluetooth, I need to complete multiple steps to maybe! get it to work. Between Widex and Android, it would seem this should have been resolved, not made worse! Not only is it tricky to get the Bluetooth to work at all, some apps can’t seem to keep the volume at a hearable level, no matter how often the volume button is adjusted. My guess is Android wants a person to buy their wireless earbuds - I’m guessing it’s about the money.

I agree with the other reviewers. Given that this company hasn’t updated this app in over 3 years or issued any firmware updates despite multiple iOS upgrades, shows that it is not serious about providing a competitive product. The app mostly doesn’t work with the latest iPhones or OS updates, unable to maintain a setting consistently. The iWatch app has always been hit or miss. Obviously, this company puts no resources into technology development.

I understand that BEYOND is not their current model, but for how expensive these are, they could at least support them a bit more (last update was 2 years ago and can’t remember the last firmware update). The beyond app on Google Watch constantly shows “not connected”. There are some aspects of using these MFi hearing aids that seem like there’s a disadvantage to using them with an Android when they can’t even connect to an Google Watch .

Have had tremendous issues pairing with my phone to the point I can’t even use my gearing aids. After paying 6k got the Damb things they should at least have a propped app to support them. Made a lot of changes to get them but have ridiculous support and workability. Have sent hearing aids back but still have issues... also costs $100+ for an office visit to tell me they have issues..... not sure which is worse the App, the Hearing Aids or the Audiologist......
